AAA SERIES Q-G

TWIST CONNECTOR
Switchcraft introduces the AAA Series or Q-G
®
Twist XLR
connectors. The Q-G
®
Twist Series is available in male or female cord
plug, 3 through 7 pins or contacts. The unique features are the easy
twist on combination handle/strain relief, and the reduced number of
parts to assemble. With the insert built into the front shell, and the
strain relief preloaded into the handle, the end user has only two parts
to assemble – slide the handle onto the cable, solder the terminations,
and twist on the handle. As the handle is tightened, the strain relief
tightens around the outer jacket of the cable. A ramp on the strain relief
keeps it from rotating around the cable jacket and twisting the cable.
The strain relief was designed to accommodate the most popular
cable sizes. A rugged die-cast metal handle insures optimum
protection, and increases signal shielding. Popular options include
black and gold finishes, as well as a lower cost plastic handle version.
